Selectism - Ace Hotel New York Uniforms

Our homies at Cool Hunting get a nice exclusive on some of the wears to expect on the folks “caring” for you over at the new Ace Hotel in New York.

Beyond offering affordable comfort and style, Ace Hotels distinguish themselves by integrating into the culture of their home city. Our recent visit to the Ace NYC proved no different—the property embraces a deep history of art, music and design that speaks to New York originality. The Ace perspective on NYC style even shows up in their staff uniforms, compiled from iconic New York staples and thoughtful designer collaborations.

A few more views of the Ace Hotel New York Uniforms after the jump.

Looking for something a bit out of the norm for that next vacation? A mixture of tree house and a deft adaptation of a “gross mechanical object” (that’s collections manager speak for huge things), the airplane suit at Costa Verde Resort in Costa Rica employs the shell of a 1965 Boeing 727. The suite has two rooms and a relaxing looking balcony. (via ArchDaily).

selectism - First Look: Ace Hotel New York City

Ever since opening their first location in Portland, we have been big fans of the Ace Hotel and the concept behind the hotels. Now they are ready to take over the Big Apple and will be arriving soon in New York.

"Ace is the low card and the high card.  Our basic rooms are affordable but replete with cool amenities. Our big suites offer all the luxury you would expect from a high-end hotel. Our sensibility is democratic and inclusive. We appeal to a broad spectrum of travelers, directly, without reducing everything to the lowest common denominator.  The proof is in the common areas, where all these disparate types come together in a social place that is both dynamic and intimate, vibrant and warm.

Ace Hotel New York is improvisational, a mix of styles, historical periods and objects that come together in layers. The hotel¹s design takes its cues from the vibrancy of street life, the honesty of materials and the potential of invention. It is about soul, latent in the old architecture and re-introduced through the new design."

Soon we will be able to show you more. Until then, check out some more images after the jump.
